EMP Malaysia Projects Division has recently quoted an EMP Automatic Rubber Baling Press with in-built weighing system to a reputable local rubber products company based in Kuala Lumpur.

The press is to press specially blended rubber into SMR size rubber blocks. We have offered them an automatic press whereby their products can be weighed inside the press chamber. Once the product is weighed and the start button pressed, the whole pressing and retrieving cycle will be automatic. No human intervention is required until the packing stage.

Our regular client in Africa that has been using our Ethephon Plus Latex Stimulants for the past 10 years, has intention to import 2000kg of Ethephon Plus Latex Stimulants at 10% concentration for their 2008/2009 season.

We have just submitted our Proforma Invoice quotation to them via email. Once we get their official order, we will begin to expedite their order. With rubber prices rising in tandem with oil prices, potential clients should consider increasing their plantation yields via the use of proven latex stimulants like our Ethephon Plus.

Since 2008, our EMP Group of Companies has selected Air Asia as our official airline for any air travel within Malaysia and Asia. Firstly, the corporate colour of Air Asia is very alike to our own corporate colours and we value Air Asia's competitive and out of the box thinking in giving travellers value for money travel packages and travel destinations.

While our Managing Director, Mr. TW Kang was away to Southern Thailand on a supervisory trip on a skim block dryer and a follow up trip on a proposed EMP 2mt/hour Dry Rubber processing line, we have just submitted a Consultancy and Supply & Delivery of a 2mt/hour TSR 20 Crumb Rubber processing line to a West African Country.

Raw material will be 100% cup lumps and the potential client is seeking out land for the proposed project.

Our client has already received our proposal and quotation and will be holding a meeting to discuss our proposal and prices.

Our Managing Director, Mr.TW Kang is currently in Southern Thailand to supervise the installation of a 17 Stage Skim Block Dryer. This supervision is part of our contract and upon inspection of the dryer being installed, some faults were found.

As we are providing the technical input on this project, the faults were pointed out to our Thai counterpart for their rectification. The dryer will be able to be tested and commission in 2 weeks time.

EMP Malaysia Projects Division has just completed a proposal to an Indian company for a 1mt/hr TSR 20 Crumb Rubber Processing system. TSR 20 rubber will be produced from cup lumps and sheet material.

The project proposal will take about 6 months to complete if we are successful in getting the order. Recently, we receive a small order for rubber tapping knives in Kerala whom the company is keen to distribute our knives in India.

EMP Malaysia has recently been contracted by a firm to submit a preliminary price quotation for a 10mt/hr crumb rubber processing line in Indonesia.

Work has already started and we hope to submit our proposal soon. Our Scope of Works include designing a suitable process line which covers pre-cleaning, blending and final size reduction equipment, drying systems, baling and packing. A flow diagram and a Preliminary price quotation for such a line will be submitted together in the Proposal.

On Saturday last 22nd. March 2008, EMP Malaysia has shipped out the 500kg/hr Skim Block Dryer equipment to Thailand.

We received the order in late January 2008 and within 2 months, our company has delivered the above items by road. Once the items are cleared by the Thai customs, the Main fan, exhaust fan, cooling fan, feed drive and control panel will be installed at site.

We hope that the complete installation at the site can be completed by 3rd. Week of April 2008 and the dryer commissioned by April 2008.

We have incorporated various types of rubber tapping knives, plastic latex cups, non-acidic latex coagulant powder and other tapping accessories into a robust plastic container. This comprehensive rubber tapping kit will be useful to tappers who want to buy these kits off their local shops in their respective countries.
